Ruska Aika, Musta Aika - Kuro Lolita in Autumn ♥

Finally we got some really good weather here! ^____^v

I had asked a friend if she wanted to a little photo shoot when the weather is fine on the week end, because I wanted some nice pics of my new clothes in an autumnal setting. She agreed to come over on Sunday so after I did her make-up (because I wanted to do a portrait shooting of her too) and dressed up we went outside with my DSLR.

Right next to the building where I live is a small cemetery with a park. When I look out of the window I can see the treetops of birches gleaming golden in the sun (if it decides to show itself for once, that is XD) over there, and on my way to and from work I pass the park by bus every day. It's a really beautiful setting with few buildings in the background, so this was my first choice when thinking about locations for the shooting.

It took us some time to figure out the ideal spot for the photos, but these are the best that we ended up with!
My very first Kuro Lolita coord. What do you think about it?

My legs .__. Are these the same legs I had this summer? Did I lose some wight without noticing? (I guess the angle is just flattering, but still :D *happy*)

I hate it how the outer corner of my eye looks so messed up from that angle D: But anyway I really like the photo ^^

I did edit the photos quite a lot because I didn't feel comfortable showing my "real" face ^^" It just felt wrong to dress up so pretty and then some stupid shadow of my nose on my face would ruin it all D: I can use make-up to cover many flaws, but I think I will never get used to the way my cheeks and nose look. I just don't like it v_v

Ohhh and yeah, that's the wig I showed you some posts ago! The color is truly lovely in sunlight. It even shimmers slightly magenta in a certain angle ♥ It is just the perfect color and I'm very happy with it, because now I don't have to kill my hair by bleaching it to wear my hair red from time to time :D

Random picture taken in the park ♥ It's sooo prety, I truly love this season!

I tried to do my mother's make-up before, but I'm really not experienced with doing it for someone else.

So I was a bit insecure if my friend would like the look I chose for her and how it would all work out! But in the end she seemed pretty happy about it :3

The eyeliner was such a drag tho XD I messed it up a little bit, but fortunately it's not really visible in the photos. But I'm actually pretty happy about the way it turned out in general. Since my friend usually doesn't wear any make-up at all I wanted to do something more natural (compared to what I personally usually wear). I think this brings out her gorgeous eye color very nicely!

I want to become better at taking portrait photos (also full body pictures in general, but this was probably not the best occasion to practise as we were walking around in heaps of dry leaves and I was wearing high heels XD) so I asked her to model for me :3
